HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.
∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.
∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
≥When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.
∫ Setup precautions
≥Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact.
≥Do not place on anything that generates heat like a video cassette recorder, etc.
≥Do not place in an area often subject to temperature changes.
≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme
change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.
≥Conditions where condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc.
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
–During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.
∫ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, etc. gets inside the unit.
∫ While operating
≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD may become damaged.)
≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket, or flip the power breaker switch.
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.
∫ When moving the unit
1Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.)
2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.
3Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)
∫ HDD recording time remaining
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Deleting a playlist will not increase the amount of time.)
Getting started
∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
Unit care
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the
instructions that came with the cloth.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it impossible to record or play discs.
Use the DVD lens cleaner (not included) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.
DVD lens cleaner: RP-CL720E
≥This lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region.
DO NOT
Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.
The heat can damage the unit.
Note
Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.
Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the
unit.

∫ Recording format
This unit records video in the following formats.
DVD Video Recording format [HDD] [RAM]
This is a recording method which allows you to record and edit television broadcasts and so on.
≥You can delete unwanted parts of a title, create playlists, etc. ≥The broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” can be
recorded to a CPRM compatible disc.
DVD-Video format [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›]
This recording method is the same as commercially available DVDVideo.
≥The broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be recorded even if using a CPRM compatible disc.
≥After finalising the disc, you can play the disc on DVD players and other equipment.
+VR (+R/+RW Video Recording) format [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW]
This is a method for recording moving pictures to +R/+RW discs. You can playback such discs recorded in this method in a similar way as contents recorded in the DVD-Video format.
≥The broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be recorded.
≥After finalising the disc or creating the top menu, you can play the disc on DVD players and other equipment.
Note
≥When “Rec for High Speed Copy” is set to “On”, the restrictions on secondary audio recording are also applied to DVD-RAM. Turn this setting “Off” if high speed copy to [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›] [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] is not necessary (The default setting is “On”. > 58).
≥+R discs recorded with this unit and +R discs recorded with another Panasonic DVD Recorder may be incompatible. However, discs that are finalised are compatible and can be played.
≥This unit cannot record NTSC signals to discs that already have PAL signal recordings. (However, both types of programmes can be recorded onto the HDD.)
≥You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the recording.
You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL disc on this unit.
Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one side. If there is not enough space on the first layer to record a programme, the remainder is recorded on the second layer. When playing a title recorded on both layers, the unit automatically switches between layers and plays the title in the same way as a normal programme. However, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.

§1 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a double sided disc to the other. §2 When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “EP ( 6Hours )” in the Setup menu (> 58).
The sound quality is better when using “EP ( 6Hours )” than when using “EP ( 8Hours )”.
§3 You cannot record directly to DVD-R DL and +R DL discs with this unit. The table shows the recording time when copying. [+R]DL] You cannot copy in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode.
§4 When recording to the HDD in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL or +RW discs.
≥[RAM] When recording to DVD-RAM using “EP ( 8Hours )” mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM. Use “EP ( 6Hours )” mode if playback may be on other equipment.
[HDD]
≥You can record up to 499 titles on HDD. (When continuously recording for long durations, titles are automatically divided every 8 hours.)
